U pretend you are like Steve macQueen and still have a shot at EEKSMON and I for playing Superheroes?????

Help I’m stuck in an alternate universe where Motos’ are lurking round every Corner.

BTW I like the cow avatar, and Boony are you in earthmooing by any chance?

laserlevelman? see him plot
Surveyman? he sees all in his studious way

See I always though it meant EEKMon a sorta Scottish thingo.

I wear 661 hard armour and my EVS just clicked into it and stays in place nicely,no straps or fasteners required. Has anyone that wears the soft armour had a rock hit you on the zipper? I reckon that would hurt like a bitch.

Now Mick if your “bitches” are hurting you, you need to examine your approach eh?

Yes I have been roosted by several large pointy bits of blue metal in the zip and vunerable chest areas, and the resulting bruising, open wounds and bleeding had the perpetrators apologising profusely when they saw them after the ride, but Didn’t seem to worry me too much while riding, maybe cause I was brought up in the “pre-armour” period when Men were Men and KTMs were “quaint” but a bit poofy.

But once you’ve had protection you’ll never go back, who cares if I look like C3PO on a burger and pie diet, and look a bit ghey…after all I did own a KTM so I did get softened up somewhat.

Not very good when you’re on flat ground though eh?

the only bike we’ve had trouble push starting is a hog with a flat batt and no magic button. they need a full 12v at the points just so you can even kick them into life:ohmy:

apart form that every bike i’ve had i could push on my own, even the gsx 600.

But why do you need to push start every bike you’ve owned, this in itself causes me to worry Mr Cleveland 351……..

I liked Bonny Boonys’ style imagine comparing a 300 smoker (even a kato) to a DRZ, knew straight up it was a wind-up. See suzuki riders have a sense of humour too..

Heat rash or gravle rash!!!

Yeah yeah it is a good point that i have taken into account, but i don’t go fast enough to get gravel rash, besides I carry my over the top top in my backpack for high speed stuff, gravel rash is not fun (yes I have had plenty enough experience with it over the years including tar rash) but I don’t seem to ride on that many gravelled roads, just dusty-dirty or muddy-boggy.
Besides unless I forget how to crash and slide on my side the Troy Lee seems to have every high point covered with a soft(ish) neoprane (or similar plastic) thingy.

I hated the ressure suit for a few rides, now I’d never ride without it on, on hot days i wear nothing more than it on my torso.
The invaluable spinal and real world shoulder and upper limb protection and inbuilt kidney belt to my way of thinking place it way higher on the scale than “motorcross roost armour” that essentially hasn’t changed in design for 25 yrs now, even my son wears pressure suits without complaint.
My choice is Troy Lee, but next time will be Alpinestar or similar, feel naked without it on, and basically any neckbrace is compatable.

My karma has still gone down by over 25 since I warned people the last time. I’m not massively bothered but after reading the posts above about how it is given and takne away it does seem to counter the Old Bull spirit especially if you don’t have the nuts to fess up.

Crikey Moto you had a positive karma of 3400026, bleedin’ e’ll me ole china that must mean every single post you have ever penned has gained you the undying respect of 100 of your fellow forumites!!!

The above scenario is highly unlikely, because Moto could live to 300 yrs old and post intelligent well scripted posts every hour on the hour and still not get that much recognition, probably even if he went back to suggestively gyrating in front of hordes of suspectable teen and pre-teenage girls while lip-syncing to some inane claptrap he still wouldn’t….. more probably someone has had a fiddle

[Bruce CurtisMember]

I am going to ask why trailriders wear body armour rather than pressure suits?

Sure we get roosts, but standard armour is more for protection against marauding projectiles rather than the crash/fall protection and personal injury minimisation that a pressure suit is designed for.

I’m Blue da da de da da di.

and my bike is blue, but elsewhere I’m Highly Visible as someone else.
that explains my username, and my avatar is simply my current steed a Fully complianced and legal 2003 YZ250WR 2 Stroke. Pity they don’t still do them cause I’d love a new one.

BC
it has another meaning but there’s black dogs involved so we’ll leave that to the armchair analysts

i was over at a mates house on friday. he is a 2stroke tech and had just made this xpansion chamber for this 74 kx 450.
word is, all it had done in it’s whole life is 2 desert races in california or mexico.
it was so light and had a plastic tank. suspension felt dead though.

that is one heck of a piece of history there Champo, the old Kwakas often get overlooked in the scheme of things and of course the suspension feels dead, dual PDS!

Yeah it’ll be heaps better now you’ve set it up for your weight, but recall or no recall, you’ve just spent an extra $680 to bring it up to a standard jappa, and it’ll still beat you up and feel like it’s got steel wheels……….
